Mark is joined by Duane Patterson, senior producer of The Hugh Hewitt Show, writer for HotAir.com, and host of the Duane's World podcast, to dissect the catastrophic midterm election results for the Republican Party. Patterson explains his theory that Donald Trump's "dual superpower" faltered because a key portion of the MAGA base felt betrayed by the war in Iran and chose to sit out, allowing the anti-Trump vote to dominate across battlegrounds like Kansas, Iowa, and Texas. The two also debate whether the military action was worth losing the Senate for the next six years, discuss the impact of high gas prices and inflation on working families, and look ahead to potential GOP primary challengers like Ron DeSantis.
